-the musical words

Greetings to all, I am Valerie. And herein lies a glimpse of the random and at certain times, inane or insane thoughts that flit through my mind. I love God, music and my books :)

Intoxicated

Cruising on waves upon waves of pure, unadulterated emotions. I think I may just drown soon. I am blown away, blown so far away by the video of the orchestra performing Ennio Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe on Youtube. The oboe soloist was... my gosh. I find myself temporarily robbed of the ability of speech. His tone was SO good, so clear and so steady. Awesome vibrato too. The strings in the background made just the right back-up for the soloist.

I also happen to stumble across an interview of Sarah Chang and Julian Lloyd Webber while they were recording Phantasia, and there were snippets of scenes showing their recording in the studio and they were playing "All I Ask of You". It was simply enthralling, astounding and absolutely enchanting. It was so beautiful tears threatened to well up in my eyes.

April Fool's Day fell on a Sunday this year. In fact, I had forgotten all about it until I woke up that Sunday morning and got neatly tricked by Talz's message. And as far as Sundays go, it is our homework-chionging day. So I was slaving away on my Economics essay on a plush green couch in Starbucks with a cup of Chocolate Frappucino that very afternoon with Marcus, who was reading the novels he just loaned out from the library, when I got kind of bored. So I picked up my cellphone and decided to trick my groups of close friends. Afterall, what's April Fool's Day without playing a few tricks? Heh.

And my tricks were not without their desired results. I laughed so hard in Starbucks, my Economics essay lay sprawled atop my file, nearly forgotten as I chuckled in glee at the contents of the messages that were flooding back to my cellphone. Oh boy, I've never mass tricked so many people during April Fool's before.

And TMSCO got Gold!! Yayness to that! XD
